Because Republicans have miserable support with Millennials and Gen Zers, two generations that are only going to become more important, and have also possibly done long-term damage with white voters over 45. At the same time, Republicans are chained to largely unpopular policies and an angry base that nominates poor candidates like Trump who have little appeal except to white conservatives.
American politics is cyclical and I have little doubt that Republicans will attain presidential success at some point in the future, but I think there's a good chance that it will take them longer than usual to get back into power. And historically, it's not especially unusual for one party to win three straight presidential elections (it happened four times in the 20th century alone, counting the Republican streak that started in 1896 and ended in 1908).
